HIGH  SCHOOL  EDUCATION  IN  THE  UNITED  STATES 

There  are  in  the  United  States  16,300  high  schools.  This  is  an 
increase  of  452  percent  since  1890.  The  rapid  growth  of  high  schools 
in  recent  years  has  been  the  outstanding  feature  in  educational  develop¬ 
ment.  According  to  the  most  reliable  reports,  there  has  been  an  average 
of  a  new  high  school  established  in  the  United  States  for  each  day  of 
the  calendar  year  for  the  last  28  years.  In  1890,  60  percent  of  the  high 
schools  were  public  high  schools,  and  40  percent  private  high  schools 
and  academies.  Now,  87  percent  of  the  schools  are  public  high  schools, 
and  15  percent  private.  In  1890,  one-third  of  all  the  high  school 
students  were  in  private  schools  and  academies,  and  to-day  only  one- 
twelfth  of  the  high  school  pupils  are  so  located.  The  public  high  schools 
are  responsible  for  the  large  number  of  schools  and  for  91  percent  of 
all  the  high  school  pupils. 

SIZE  OF  THE  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

One-fourth  of  the  high  schools  of  the  United  States  have  from  one 
to  twenty-five  students;  one-fourth  have  from  26  to  50  students;  one- 
fourth  have  from  50  to  125  students,  and  one-fourth  have  over  125 
students.  There  are  in  the  United  States  632  schools  enrolling  over  500 
students  each.*  This  is  less  than  five  percent  of  the  total  number  of 
high  schools.  The  largest  high  school  in  the  United  States  is  the 
Evening  Polytechnic  High  School  of  Los  Angeles,  with  an  enrollment 
of  8700  students.  Arizona  has  only  two  high  schools  enrolling  over 
500  students,  namely,  Tucson  and  Phoenix. 

TEACHERS  AND  STUDENTS 

In  1918,  the  16,000  high  schools  of  the  United  States  employed 
90,000  teachers,  had  1,645,000  students,  and  graduated  225,000  students. 
Of  this  total,  Arizona  had  32  schools,  260  teachers,  4100  students,  and 
400  graduates.  In  1920,  there  were  reported  in  Arizona  36  schools,  351 
teachers,  5469  students,  623  graduates.

and  such  a  certificate  is  necessary  before  a  valid  contract  can  be  made. 

SALARIES  OE  TEACHERS 

The  salaries  of  high  school  teachers  in  Arizona  are  usually  paid  in 
ten  monthly  installments.  The  average  salary  for  a  beginning  teacher 
is,  fifteen  hundred  dollars  and  the  rate  of  increase  varies  with  the 
character  of  the  work  and  the  local  communities. 

VALUE  OE  BUILDINGS 

The  average  value  of  the  high  school  building  in  the  United  States 
was  $45,000,  while  the  average  value  of  the  Arizona  high  school  is 
$58,000.  The  average  city  high  school  in  the  United  States  is  valued  at 
$205,000,  and  the  average  city  high  school  property  in  Arizona  is 
valued  at  $69,000. 

POPULATION  AND  STUDENT  BODY 

In  regard  to  the  student  body  of  the  high  schools,  there  arc  eJi- 
rolled  in  the  United  States  15-6/10  pupils  per  1000  population.  i\rizona 
has  13-9/10  students  per  1000.  Nine  and  one-third  percent  of  the 
population  of  the  United  States  eighteen  years  old  graduate  from  the 
high  schools,  but  only  7-3/4  percent  of  this  class  graduate  from  the 
Arizona  high  schools. 

For  each  thousand  students  entering  the  high  schools  of  the  United 
States,  721  will  reach  the  second  year,  532  the  third  year,  440  the  fourth 
year,  and  417  will  graduate.  Forty-two  percent  of  all  the  graduates 
last  year  continued  their  education  in  some  higher  institution,  while 
45-9/10  percent  of  the  Arizona  high  school  students  continued  their 
education.  .  =  ii  .  ' ! 

HIGH  SCHOOL  LIBRARIES 

The  average  high  school  of  the  United  States  had  695  volumes  in 


Arizona  High  Schools

its  library,  while  the  average  Arizona  high  school  had  652  volumes. 
The  average  high  school  in  California,  with  1960  volumes  in  its  library, 
shows  the  largest  average  number  of  volumes. 

The  average  cost  of  high  school  education  for  the  United  States  is 
$84.49  per  year. 

HIGH  SCHOOL  EDUCATION  IN  ARIZONA 

The  State  of  Arizona  provides  high  school  educational  opportuni¬ 
ties  for  all  pupils  who  complete  the  elementary  school  course  of  eight 
years.  A  certificate  to  this  effect  signed  by  a  teacher,  principal,  super¬ 
intendent,  or  county  superintendent,  admits  the  pupils  into  any  high 
school  of  the  State  without  further  examination. 

course:  of  study 

The  State  Board  of  Education  prescribes  the  minimum  amount  of 
work  to  be  provided  by  a  high  school  which  has  the  approval  of  the 
State  Board  of  Education.  Outside  these  limitations  the  high  school 
may  provide  such  subjects  as  the  Board  feels  are  best  adapted  to  the 
needs  of  the  community.  In  general,  the  courses  offered  are  such  as 
lead  to  entrance  to  college,  and  in  the  larger  schools  it  is  customary  to 
provide,  in  addition,  such  courses  as  commercial,  manual  training, 
agricultural,  and  scientific. 

TYPES  OE  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

The  high  schools  are  divided  into  three  classes  upon  the  basis  of 
the  kind  of  district ;  namely,  single  district  high  schools,  union  district 
high  schools,  and  county  high  schools.  In  the  first  class  are  included 
Bisbee,  Clifton,  Clarkdale,  Douglas,  Globe,  Jerome,  Miami,  Morenci, 
Nogales,  Prescott,  Safford,  Tombstone,  Tucson,  and  Winslow.  In  the 
union  district  high  school  are  included  Benson,  Duncan,  Florence, 
Glendale,  Mesa,  Phoenix,  Tempe,  Willcox,  and  Yuma.  There  are 
county  high  schools  at  Kingman,  Mohave  County,  and  St.  Johns  in 
Apache  County. 

High  schools  are  maintained  at  each  of  the  two  State  Normal 
Schools  and  private  academies  at  St.  Johns,  Apache  County,  Thatcher, 
Graham  County,  and  Snowflake,  Navajo  County,  do  accredited  high 
school  work.  Parochial  schools  doing  accredited  high  school  work  are 
St.  Joseph’s  Academy,  Prescott,  and  Loretto  Academy  at  Bisbee.

SUPPORT 

The  support  for  the  different  types  of  high  school  comes  from  a  tax 
lew  upon  the  property  of  the  single  district,  union  district,  or  county 
district,  as  provided  by  law.  In  the  industrial  courses  the  industrial 
and  vocational  work  is  subsidised  and  aided  by  the  State  to  the  extent 
of  vj}2500.00  ani-iviallj-. 

COST  OP  MAINTPNANCP 

The  cost  of  high  school  education  per  student  enrolled  shows  a 
wide  variation,  due  to  the  diverse  conditions  under  which  the  schools 
operate.  For  the  year  1919-20,  the  average  per  capita  cost,  based  on 
average  daily  attendance,  varied  from  $69.91  to  $812.53.  The  average 
per  capita  cost  is  approximately  $180.00.  The  total  amount  appor¬ 
tioned  to  the  high  schools  for  vocational  work  in  1919-20  was 
$72,000.00. 

RPCPNT  DEVELOPMENT 

Since  1918,  the  development  in  the  high  schools  of  Arizona  has 
been  very  marked.  Comparative  reports  from  the  four-year  high 
schools  in  the  State  reported  in  1916,  and  reports  from  similar  schools 
in  1920  give  striking  evidence  of  the  fact  that  in  the  number  of  teachers 
employed,  students  attending  and  graduating,  there  has  been  marked 
advancement.  As  shown  by  the  following  table,  there  has  been  an 
increase  of  38  percent  in  the  number  of  men  teachers,  128  percent  in 
the  number  of  women  teachers,  83  percent  gain  in  the  number  of  boys 
attending  high  school,  72  percent  gain  in  the  number  of  girls  attending 
high  school,  and  an  increase  of  85  percent  in  the  number  of  graduates 
during  the  past  four  years.  This  growth  is  remarkable  in  comparison 
with  the  growth  of  high  schools  in  other  states.

Schools  meeting  these  standards  grant  diplomas  which  entitle  the 
holder  to  enter  any  of  the  institutions  for  higher  education  maintained 
by  the  State  of  Arizona. 

NORTH  CENTRAL  ASSOCIATION 

The  North  Central  Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools 
is  a  voluntary  honor  roll  of  such  institutions.  It  was  founded  to  “estab¬ 
lish  closer  relations  between  the  secondary  schools  and  the  institutions 
of  higher  education  within  the  North  Central  states  and  such  other 
territory  as  the  Association  may  recognize.”  This  Association  was 
founded  twenty-six  years  ago  and  has  grown  until  it  includes  eighteen 
states  having  150  institutions  of  higher  education,  and  more  than  1000 
schools  of  secondary  rank. 

In  1916  Arizona  was  received  into  the  territory  operating  unde’* 
the  provisions  of  the  North  Central  Association,  and  17  high  schools 
are  now  accredited  by  this  Association  and  their  graduates  are  admitted 
to  the  institutions  of  higher  education  in  the  following  states: 


Arizona 

Michigan 

North  Dakota 

Colorado 

Minnesota 

Ohio 

Illinois 

Missouri 

Oklahoma 

Indiana 

Montana 

South  Dakota 

Iowa 

Nebraska 

Wisconsin 

Kansas 

New  Mexico 

Wyoming 

The  standards 

upon  which  high  schools 

are  admitted  into  tl 

Association  are  as  follows : 

REGULATIONS  AND  STANDARDS  OF  ACCREDITING 
SECONDARY  SCHOOLS— 1921-1922 

I.  REGULATIONS 

1.  No  school  shall  he  considered  unless  the  regular  annual  blank  furnished  for 
the  purpose  shall  have  been  properly  and  completely  tilled  out  and  placed  on 
tile  with  the  inspector.  Schools  in  good  standing  will  make  a  complete  report 
on  teachers  once  in  five  years ;  but  the  full  data  relative  to  changes  must  be 
presented  annually.  (A  full  report  will  be  required  in  1921  ;  again  in  1925, 
and  every  five  years  thereafter.) 

2.  New  schools,  hereafter  seeking  accrediting,  shall  submit  evidence  {e.  g.,  a 
resolution)  showing  an  approval  of  the  standards  of  the  Association  and  of 
the  application  for  membership  by  the  local  hoard  of  education  or  school 
trustees. 


Arizona  High  Schools

3.  The  time  for  which  schools  are  accredited  shall  be  limited  to  one  year,  dating 
from  the  time  of  the  adoption  of  the  list  by  the  Association.  Schools  that 
have  been  continuously  accredited  for  five  years  or  more  may  not  be  dropped 
for  any  violation  of  standards.  Such  schools  are  to  be  warned.  But  if  the 
violation  is  persisted  in  for  a  second  year  they  shall  be  dropped. 

4.  The  Association  will  decline  to  consider  any  school  unless  such  school  is  in 
the  highest  class  of  schools  as  oihcially  listed  by  the  properly  constituted  edu¬ 
cational  authorities  of  the  state. 

5.  In  all  emergency  appointments  during  the  school  year  in  which  teachers  do 
not  fully  meet  Standards  6A  and  6B  the  Commission  will  insist  that  these  be 
temporary  and  for  the  remainder  of  the  current  year  only.  Such  cases  must 
be  duly  certified  by  the  superintendent  or  principal,  including  a  statement 
concerning  the  training,  experience,  salaries  and  efficiency  of  such  teachers. 

6.  The  agent  of  communication  between  the  accredited  schools  and  the  secretary 
of  the  Commission  for  the  purpose  of  distributing,  collecting,  and  filing  the 
annual  reports  of  such  schools,  and  for  such  other  purposes  as  the  Association 
may  direct,  is  as  follows:  (a)  In  States  having  such  an  official,  the  inspector 
of  schools  appointed  by  the  state  university,  (b)  In  other  States  the  inspector 
of  schools  appointed  by  the  State  authority,  or,  if  there  be  no  such  official, 
such  person  or  persons  as  the  secretary  of  the  Commission  may  elect. 

7.  If  any  State  fails  for  two  successive  years  to  send  one  or  more  official  repre¬ 
sentatives  to  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Commission  on  Secondary  Schools, 
the  schools  of  that  State  may,  by  a  vote  of  the  Association,  be  dropped  from 
the  accredited  list. 

The  Association  is  conservative,  believing  that  such  policy  will  eventually 
work  to  the  highest  interests  of  all.  It  aims  to  accredit  only  those  schools 
which  possess  organization,  teaching  force,  standards  of  scholarship,  equip¬ 
ment  and  esprit  de  corps,  of  such  character  as  will  unhesitatingly  commend 
them  to  any  educator,  college,  or  university  in  the  North  Central  territory. 

II.  STANDARDS 
A.  Buildings 

Standard  1.  The  location  and  construction  of  the  buildings,  the  lighting,  heating, 
and  ventilation  of  the  rooms,  the  nature  of  the  lavatories,  corridors,  closets, 
zvater  supply,  school  furniture,  apparatus,  and  methods  of  cleaning  shall  be 
such  as  to  insure  hygienic  conditions  for  both  pupils  and  teachers. 

All  schools  whose  buildings  are  inexcusably  inadequate  and  lacking  m 
modern  equipment  may  expect  to  have  North  Central  Association  accrediting 
privileges  withheld  from  them. 

Standard  2.  The  laboratory  and  library  facilities  shall  be  adequate  to  the  needs 
of  instruction  in  the  subjects  taught.  The  Association  recommends  the 
appointment  of  a  trained  librarian  for  each  high  school  employing  t-^n  or 
more  teachers. 


10 


Extension  Bulletin  No.  2 


B.  Organisation  and  Administration 

Standard  3.  A — No  school  shall  be  acchcdited  which  does  not  require  fifteen 
units  for  graduation. 

A  unit  course  of  study  in  a  secondary  school  is  defined  as  a  course  cover¬ 
ing  an  academic  year  that  shall  include  in  the  aggregate  not  less  than  the 
equivalent  of  one  hundred  twenty  sixty-minute-hours  of  class  room  wor, 
two  hours  of  shop  or  laboratory  work  being  equivalent  to  one  hour  of  pre¬ 
pared  class  room  work. 

More  than  twenty  periods  per  week  of  academic  subjects,  or  twenty-five 
periods  including  vocational  subjects,  exclusive  of  choral  music  and  physical 
training,  should  be  discouraged  except  in  the  cases  of  pupils  having  more 
than  average  ability. 

B — The  school  year  shall  consist  of  a  minimum  of  thirty-six  zveeks. 

Standard  4.  The  efficiency  of  instruction,  the  acquired  habits  of  thought  and 
study,  the  general  intellectual  and  moral  lone  of  a  school  are  paramount 
factors,  and  therefore  only  schools  which  rank  zvell  in  these  particulars,  as 
evidenced  by  rigid,  thorough-going,  sympathetic  inspection,  shall  be  consid¬ 
ered  eligible  for  the  list. 

Standard  5.  No  school  shall  hereafter  be  accredited  whose  salary  schedule  is 
not  sufficient  to  command  and  retain  teachers  zvhosc  qualifications  are  such  os 
required  by  this  Association.  The  interpretation  of  this  requirement  shall  be 
a  matter  of  special  responsibility  for  the  State  Committee. 

C.  Preparation  of  Teachers 

Standard  6.  All  teachers  teaching  one  or  more  academic  subjects  must  satisfy 
the  following  requirements : 

A.  The  minimum  attainment  of  teachers  of  any  academic  subject,  and 
likezvise  of  the  supervisors  of  such  subjects,  shall  be  equivalent  to  graduation 
from  a  college  belonging  to  the  North  Central  Association  of  Colleges  and 
.Secondary  Schools  requiring  the  completion  of  a  four  year  course  of  study 
cr  120  semester  hours  in  advance  of  a  standard  four  year  hi?,h  school  course. 
Such  requirements  shall  not  be  construed  as  retroactive. 

B.  The  jniuimum  professional  training  of  teachers  of  any  academic  sub¬ 
ject  shall  be  at  least  eleven  semester  hours  in  education.  This  should  include 
special  study  of  the  subject  matter  and  pedagogy  of  the  subject  to  be  taught. 
Such  requirements  shall  not  be  construed  as  retroactive. 

The  Association  advises  that  the  following  types  of  courses  should  be 
offered  as  meeting  the  spirit  of  this  standard:  Educational  psychology, 
principles  of  secondary  education,  theory  of  teaching,  special  methods  in 
subjeets  taughe,  observation  and  practice  teaehing,  history  of  education  and 
educational  sociology.

In  the  case  of  supervisors  (and  for  the  present  transitional  period  only) 
the  Association  will,  in  applying  this  standard,  take  into  consideration  the 
record  of  their  teaching  and  administrative  experience. 

D — The  Teaching  Load 

Standard  7.  A — The  niiniher  of  daily  periods  of  classroom  instruction  given  by 
any  teacher  shall  not  exceed  five.  The  Commission  zvill  reject  all  schoots 
having  more  than  six  recitation  periods  per  day  for  any  teacher. 

B — The  minimum  length  of  a  recitation  period  shall  be  forty  minutes  e.r- 
clusive  of  all  the  time  used  in  the  changing  of  classes  or  teachers. 

For  interpreting  this  standard  in  connection  with  laboratory  work  in 
science,  and  in  connection  with  study  room  supervision,  a  double  period  may 
be  counted  as  the  equivalent  of  one  class  room  exercise  for  teachers  of 
academic  subjects,  provided  that  no  combination  of  such  work  amounting  to 
more  than  thirty-five  periods  a  week  be  required  of  any  teacher. 

For  schools  having  some  definite  plan  of  supervised  study,  not  more  than 
five  classes  per  day  should  be  assigned  to  any  teacher.  The  Association 
advises  that  the  maximum  be  four.  . 

Standard  8.  A^o  sehools  whose  reeords  shozv  an  excessive  number  of  pupils  per 
teaeher  based  on  an  average  attendance,  shall  be  accredited.  The  Association 
recommends  tzventy-hve  for  a  maximum.  In  general,  no  teachers  of  academic 
subjects  should  be  assigned  more  than  150  student  hours  of  class  room  in¬ 
struction  per  day,  organized  in  not  to  exceed  six  classes  per  day. 

E — Program  of  Studies 

Standard  9.  The  Association  recommends  that  every  accredited  school  offer 
units  of  work  in  mathematics,  social  sciences,  languages  (including  English), 
natural  sciences,  the  fine  arts,  and  ph5^sical  training.  It  further  recommends 
the  introduction  of  vocational  subjects  such  as  agriculture,  manual  training, 
household  economics,  and  commercial  subjects  into  schools  where  local  con¬ 
ditions  render  such  introduction  feasible.  The  Association  will  hold  that  a 
sufficient  number  of  qualified  teachers  must  be  provided  to  care  adequately 
for  all  instruction  offered.  Not  less  than  the  equivalent  of  the  full  teaching 
time  of  three  teachers  may  be  given  to  academic  subjects. 

PARTLY  ACCRKDITED  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

In  addition,  there  is  a  third  group  whose  work  is  accepted  at  full 
value  for  as  much  of  the  high  school  course  as  they  are  prepared  to 
give,  or  for  which  pupils  are  enrolled.  These  schools  are,  standard  to 
the  extent  of  their  course  and  will,  in  due  time,  be  fully  accredited  for 
the  high  school  course.
